SILVER SOLDER 5% SILVER 2.4MM

Silver Solder 5% Silver – 2.4mm Brazing Rod

High-Strength, Cost-Effective Silver Brazing Alloy for General Purpose Applications

Silver Solder 5% Silver – 2.4mm is a reliable, economical silver brazing alloy designed for strong, leak-free joints across a wide range of metals. Containing 5% silver, this brazing rod offers an excellent balance between performance and affordability, making it ideal for general fabrication, maintenance, plumbing, refrigeration, and light industrial brazing applications.

The 2.4mm diameter provides excellent control during heating and filler metal deposition, ensuring consistent flow, good capillary action, and strong metallurgical bonding. This alloy is commonly used where higher silver content is not required but dependable joint strength and corrosion resistance are essential.

Key Features & Benefits

• 5% Silver Content – Cost-effective alternative to higher silver alloys

• Strong, Durable Joints – Suitable for pressure and non-pressure brazing applications

• Excellent Flow Characteristics – Smooth melting and good capillary action

• Versatile Metal Compatibility – Bonds copper, brass, bronze, mild steel, and selected stainless steels

• 2.4mm Diameter Rods – Ideal for medium-sized joints and general repair work

• Good Corrosion Resistance – Suitable for plumbing and refrigeration systems

Typical Applications
